Coldplay released their last album "Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends" in 2008 which was a huge success for them, so fans expect a lot from the new album too.

I TURN THE MUSIC UP, I GOT MY RECORDS ON
I SHUT THE WORLD OUTSIDE UNTIL THE LIGHTS COME ON
MAYBE THE STREETS ALIGHT, MAYBE THE TREES ARE GONE
I FEEL MY HEART START BEATING TO MY FAVOURITE SONG

AND ALL THE KIDS THEY DANCE, ALL THE KIDS ALL NIGHT
UNTIL MONDAY MORNING FEELS ANOTHER LIFE
I TURN THE MUSIC UP
I'M ON A ROLL THIS TIME
AND HEAVEN IS IN SIGHT

I TURN THE MUSIC UP, I GOT MY RECORDS ON
FROM UNDERNEATH THE RUBBLE SING A REBEL SONG
DON'T WANT TO SEE ANOTHER GENERATION DROP
I'D RATHER BE A COMMA THAN A FULL STOP

MAYBE I'M IN THE BLACK, MAYBE I'M ON MY KNEES
MAYBE I'M IN THE GAP BETWEEN THE TWO TRAPEZES
BUT MY HEART IS BEATING AND MY PULSES START
CATHEDRALS IN MY HEART

AND WE SAW OH THIS LIGHT I SWEAR YOU, EMERGE BLINKING INTO
TO TELL ME IT'S ALRIGHT
AS WE SOAR WALLS, EVERY SIREN IS A SYMPHONY
AND EVERY TEAR'S A WATERFALL
IS A WATERFALL
OH
IS A WATERFALL
OH OH OH
IS A IS A WATERFALL
EVERY TEAR
IS A WATERFALL
OH OH OH

Lady Gaga's new album "Born This Way" debuts at #1 this week in the official UK Albums Chart with 215k copies sold. This is the best first-week sales and the second overall this year. Her last album The Fame/The Fame Monster" has been sold in more than 2.5 million copies to date in the UK and returns to top 10 this week thanks to the latest album success.

Last week #1 album "21" by Adele slips to #2.

The Prodigy's live album is also among top 10 new entries. Their first live set in a career "World's On Fire - Live" debuts at #5.

As for the Singles chart, there are no much changes. Pitbull is still #1 for the second consecutive week with "Give Me Everything".

After four weeks a single by Romanian singer Alexandra Stan "Mr. Saxobeat" enters top 10 at #5.

The Saturdays' new single "Notorious" debuts at #8 which makes it their nineth top 10 single.

After last week debut at #11, the latest single by Swedish House Mafia "Save the World" rises one spot, so it has become their third cosecutive top 10 single.

A popular singer Lenny Kravitz is set to release his nineth studio album "Black & White America" on August 28th in most countries and August 30th in North America.

The singer says that this is his most personal album to date:

"It's my life, I'm the son of a black actress, Roxie Roker, and a white television producer, Sy Kravitz. I grew up in an environment where I was in between a so-called black and white world. My life has always been about contrasts, and it reflects on not only my life and what I've gone through with my parents and what I saw growing up, but also where we are now as far as this country, and accepting these kind of changes where we now have an African-American president".

The first official single from this release "Stand" will be released in the end of June.
It's also confirmed that Lenny will start European tour in October during which he'll perform in Zagreb on November 17.Kravitz has released eight albums so far which have been sold in more than 35 million copies. His last album "It Is Time for a Love Revolution" was released in 2008.

Although her European tour is supposed to start in less than a month, Amy Winehouse has checked into rehab again, her rep confirmes. Still, there's no change of plans about the concert (for now).

"She wants to be ready for performances in Europe this summer and decided to seek an assessment", it's said in a statement.

Supposedly, her father convinced her to check into a clinic because he thinks she drinks too much again. Her managers claim that she'll be out of rehab on for her European tour which is planned to start in Belgrade on June 18.What do you think? Will Amy perform this summer?

Adele and her team have been named the most powerful persons in British music industry in Guardian'sThe Music Power 100 poll. The list was decided by a music industry panel and focussed mainly on industry figures and the teams behind the success of artists. The singer's latest album 21 went #1 in 15 countries selling 6 million copies to date.A head of her label XL Records, Richard Russell, said:

"The whole message with her is, it's just music. There's no gimmicks, there's no selling of sexuality".

The runner-up spoot took Lucian Grainige and David Joseph, CEOs of Universal Music Group and Universal Music UK, a label which is a home to Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber i The Rolling Stones.X Factor boss and CEO of Syco label, Simon Cowell, took #3 spot.Check out top 10 below this post.

Britain's Got Talent singing senastion Susan Boyle wants to record an album of duets with young pop stars Lady Gaga, Rihanna and Adele among others, she revealed in an interview for Daily Records.

"I'd be interested in an album of duets. There are so many people I'd love to sing with. Lady Gaga would be fun. But then, so would Donny Osmond. I really like Adele and Rihanna", Susan said.

Susan also has an offer from English producer Labirinth who wants to modernize her sound. He told BANG Showbiz:

"I want to make her the sickest track in the world man - it would be Susan on dubstep".

It would be more than interesting to see and hear Susan in all these collabs!Anyway, this YouTube star has two covers albums in her career - "I Dreamed a Dream" and "The Gift", both with multiplatinum certifications.

Beyonce premiered a new song from her upcoming album "4" - "1 + 1" in the final of American Idol. The singer says that this is her favorite track from the new album, so it's not surprising to see it as an opening track.

Before the performance, Beyonce posted a complete tracklist of "4" to her official facebook page which you can check out below this post + live performance of "1 + 1" as well.

A popular American country pop singer Taylor Swift has premiered a video for the 4th single from her album "Speak Now" - "The Story of Us". In this cute video we find the singer returning to school, library more precisely, playing a girl who rather loses herself in the stacks than in love.

The video is directed by Noble Jones who previously worked with HIM, Michael Buble, Mary J. Blige and many others.

Lady Gaga in a recent interview for Financial Times has revealed that she's planning to release a jazz-inspired Christmas album. The singer about this idea said:

"I thought it would be really sweet to do a Christmas release of GaGa and the jazz standards. I really want to do it. I've spoken to my manager".

Jazz and Lady Gaga? It's definitely an interesting combination which worldwide fans, we believe, can wait' to hear. Still, they need to hold their breath until the end of the year.Until then they can enjoy in her latest album Born This Way which is heading to 1 million copies sold in the USA in the first week thanks to Amazon mp3 store that was selling this album for 1 (one) dollar. It 's reported that the album was sold in ~400k copies in the first week in this store.

So, Adele still tops both albums and singles charts, Billboard reported. 21 is #1 album for the 9th non-consecutive week selling additional 137k copies. Still, Lady Gaga will take this position next week as her new album Born This Wayis projected to sell more than 850k copies in the first week.

The most successful new entry this week is an album by a rock band Seether "Holding Onto to Strings Better Left to Fray" at #2 (61k). This is the highest chart position in their career and the best weekly sales since Karma and Effect in 2005 which was sold in 82k in the first week.

The only new top 10 entry beside Seether is a debut self-titled album by Italian teen trio II Volo at #10 with 23k copies sold.

As for the singles chart, Rolling In The Deep is #1 for the third consecutive week, as we already reported, and it seems that it will stay there in next weeks. This song was the best-selling single last week (297k) and it also took #2 on Radio Songs chart.

Two songs blast into Hot 100's top 10 this week. A big European hit Party Rock Anthem by LMFAO, Lauren Bennett and GoonRock rises 20-8 thanks to strong digital sales (#4, 163k).

Lupe Fiasco scores his second top 10 hit as The Show Goes On surges 12-9.

A long-awaited Lady Gaga's album Born This Way is finally out today. The album is available in standard and special edition and only few hours after release it topped itunes albums charts in almost every country. More sales data should be available tomorrow, but it's expected that this album break all records in the USA because it's available for only 0.99$ in Amazon mp3 store. it's an interesting strategy that could bring her more than million copies sold in one week.

After 4-years long break, Billboard Music Awards are back in a big style. Many music stars gathered last night in Las Vegas to find out which acts were the most successful last year in Billboard charts. Some of them also gave extraordinary performances. So, one by one.

Rihanna opened the show with S&M. Britney Spears joined her on stage, which made Spears' fans happy after many weeks of rummors about whether Britney will perform. She even later returned to perform part of Till the World Ends remix with Nicki Minaj.

Eminem and Justin Bieber were the biggest winners of the night (each won 6 awards). Eminem, among others, won Top Artist, Top Male Artist and Best Album awards, while Biber took home Fan Favorite and Top New Artist Awards, among others.

Rihanna and Taylor Swift were not much behind. Rihanna was named for Top Radio Artist and Top Female Artist, while Swift got Billboard Top 200 Artist of the Year award.

Beyonce was certainly the star of the night. She was honored with Billboard Millenium Award, as we previously reported and she also performed her latest single Who Run the World (Girls). During accaptance, Beyoncé was honored by musical veterans like Barbra Streisand, Bono and Stevie Wonder, as well as First Lady Michelle Obama, in a video montage.

U2 won an award for the most successful tour last year 360 which eventually became the most successful tour of all time.

Blige dueted with Lil Wayne, while Pitbull performed his latest hit Give Me Everything. The Black Eyed Peas also performed singing medly of their greatest hits.

Kate Bush's first album in six years Director's Cut debuts at #2 in the UK Official Albums Chart.

Kate Bush released her last studio album Aerial in 2005 which reached #3 spot. There's no official confirmation when a new album with original songs will be released.

Adele blocks Kate's way to the top. Her album 21 #1 for the 16th non-consecutive week.

From new top 10 entries there is a new album by Friendly Fires "Pala" at #6 which is a jump compared to their debut album that reached #21.

Details about the song are still unknown, but Tinie promises that result of this collab will be amazing.

This is certainly unusual collaboration. Maybe we can expect something like Stan which was a huge hit for Eminem and Dido 11 years ago. Anyway, we'll find out soon when we get more details.

The song was written by well known team - Lady Gaga and RedOne and Rolling Stones magazine described the track as “an inspirational song in the mold of 'Born This Way,' but it’s a bit weirder, mixing the yearning romantic melodrama of Pat Benetar’s ‘We Belong’ with the hard industrial metal edge of Broken-era Nine Inch Nails”.Gaga released another promo single The Edge of Glory which eventually became the third official single from Born This Way due to strong digital downloads.
Listen to a Hair below and tell us what you think!

Yes, you've read it well - 4. How inspiring is that.
